Crime expert backs calls for 'licence to compute'

Q1. Why is there a need for such licenses?Discuss the importance and necessity of it.
It is applicable before but when we talk about implementing it today, I don’t think it will benefit the society for the fact that in our generation today, people who has higher task in the economy, in the government and even in big businesses and institutions would have to hold on to computer technology without hassling in to some ‘license to compute’.

Q2. What do you think is the possible drawback of this in Australia?
People would probably be discourage to use the so called technology and would decrease their knowledge about it. And of course the IT literacy, as what you have said that it would deter their field especially to those in the rural areas and would also gives social discrimination as well as poor average.
Q3. Do you think this should also be applied here in the Philippines even if we are not a first world country? Why? Why not?

I would say that this “SHOULD NOT BE APPLIED” here in the Philippines because in facing the reality, Philippines is not of high and standard technology, yes we are rich of natural resources but not technology sources. That is why if the government will push through this license, well 100% our economy, our society as well as the average IQ of the Filipinos will totally decrease.
Q4. What is the point of Dr. Smith telling this?
I think he is pointing out to the main technology which is the Biometrics, if the manufacturers of both hardware and software are not knowledgeable enough to make such technology; nevertheless there is the possibility still for people to be defrauded.

Q5. What are the possible challenges in achieving Dr. Smith's suggestion if implemented worldwide? Is it possible?
Yes, everything is possible but the challenge is that, many transactions will be made, many laws will be implemented, dilemmas will appear, hindrances will block it, higher courts will have to make many decision, rally’s will exist and lives will be in trouble. We will see the few improvements for combating internet-related crime but little by little we will then see the huge damage not just towards our country but unto our lives.
